It is an EU carrier, so EU261 covers it both ways. ## Transavia France flight delay and cancellation: your rights There are two Transavias. The Dutch one flies HV flight numbers from Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The French one flies TO flight numbers from Paris-Orly, Lyon and Nantes. Both belong to the Air France-KLM group. Your boarding pass says which one flew you. Start there, because the claim goes to the airline that operated the flight. ## Both are EU airlines, and that settles a lot France is an EU state, so Transavia France holds an EU operating licence. EU261 therefore covers its flights in both directions. A departure from Orly is covered, as any EU departure would be. So is the flight home from Marrakesh, Tunis or Tel Aviv, because an EU airline operated it. Passengers often assume the inbound leg from outside Europe falls outside the rules. On this airline it does not. The amounts are **€250**, **€400** and **€600**, set by distance. Compensation is owed per passenger, so a family of four multiplies the figure. ## Which Transavia flew me, and does it matter? It matters only for the address on your letter. The rights are identical, because both airlines hold EU licences. Read the flight number on your boarding pass. TO is Transavia France. HV is Transavia Netherlands. Name that flight number, the date and your actual arrival time in the first line of your claim. ## How to claim Transavia France flight delay compensation Start with the flight itself. Our [free flight check](/claim) reads the recorded departure and arrival times and tells you which band your Transavia France flight falls in. A Transavia France compensation claim turns on two things: the arrival time, and the reason the airline gives. For a late arrival, read the [flight delay compensation guide](/flight-delay-compensation). For a flight that never flew, read the [cancellation compensation guide](/flight-cancellation-compensation). It covers Transavia France cancellation compensation too. Has the airline said no? The [case law summary](/passenger-rights/case-law) sets out what the courts make of the usual excuses. ## Frequently asked questions ### Is Transavia France covered by EU261 on the way back from Morocco? Yes. Transavia France holds a French operating licence, so it is an EU carrier and EU261 covers its arrivals into the EU from outside it, as well as every departure. ### What is the difference between TO and HV flights? TO is Transavia France, HV is Transavia Netherlands. They are separate airlines in the same group. Both are EU carriers, so your rights are the same either way. ### Does a cheap fare reduce the compensation? No. EU261 sets the figure by the distance of the route, never by what you paid. A €39 seat on a 2,000 km route still carries €400 if you land three or more hours late. ## Sources - https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32004R0261 - https://www.caa.co.uk/passengers/resolving-travel-problems/delays-and-cancellations/ - https://curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf?num=C-402/07 - https://curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf?num=C-549/07 - https://curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf?num=C-195/17 - https://curia.europa.eu/juris/liste.jsf?num=C-452/13 Read the full page with the claim check at https://flightcompensations.com/airlines/transavia-france
